7 0

The Leeward side of a mountain range is in fact in a rain shadow. A rain shadow is an area of elevation where little to no rain falls, due to precipitation being forced out of passing clouds on the windward side of the mountain. Precipitation condenses as clouds rise over the mountain, and in general it precipitates as it crests over the mountain, leaving no moisture for the leeward side. An example of this is the American west, just west of the Rockies, where little to no rain falls.

The given statement is True.

The rain shadow can be defined as a dry area which is found on the leeward side of the mountain area. The presence of these mountains acts as blockage in the passage of rain causing weather and forms a shadow of dryness on the other side of the mountain. The land on leeward side of a mountain range is drier on the lee and wetter on the prevailing windward.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Option B, Move closer to your home town

Explanation:

The options for the given question are as follows -

A) Knock down your previous house and build a bigger one.

B) Move closer to your home town.

C) Move further away from your home town.

D) Stay where you are but speed up your daily life

Solution -

Electrons carry negative charge while nucleus carries positive charge due to the presence of positively charged proton ions and neutral ions (which has no charge). All the electrons are attracted towards the nucleus due to its positive charge. The orbit on which an electron revolves around a nucleus has higher energy level as compared to the energy levels located in between the space of electron and nucleus.

While moving from a high energy orbital to a low energy level orbital, an electron releases some energy. Hence, in order to move closer to home, electron needs to push itself toward the nucleus by releasing energy

Hence, the given option is B

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Animals can be categorized into 3 based on body symmetry

Those without any body symmetry (asymmetrical)
Those with bilateral body symmetry (bilateria)
Those with radial body symmetry (Radiata)

Animals can be categorized into 2 based on number of embryonic germ layer;

Those with two layers - endoderm and ectoderm (diplobastic)
Those with three layers - mesoderm in addition to ectoderm and endoderm (triploblastic)

Animals can be categorized based on presence/absence of body cavity or coelom;

No body cavity - acoelomates
False body cavity - pseudocoelomates
True body cavity - coelomates

Animals can be categorized into 2 based on characteristics of embryonic development;

Deuterostomes
Protosomes

The correct answers are that it lacks cells, DNA, and cannot maintain homeostasis. It doesn't have any organic matter and homeostasis is impossible because it would turn off eventually. It doens't have DNA and it doesn't reproduce. It's just plasma and it is not a living being, it just moves because of the chemical reactions that occur.
